Rated 4 out of 5 by ldpCO Does What is Needed
Wanted something to offer protection from the afternoon showers in the Rockies when hiking or climbin. This fits the bill - takes up little space, weighs very little, very water and wind resistant. Attractive looking, too.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Liverpoolgal Great look!!
This windbreaker is very stylish and fits great. The quality is the best I've seen in a long time. I highly recommend this item.
We are always so pleased with everything we purchase from LL Bean - they never disappoint!!!

This jacket is just what I needed. Lightweight, stylish, and easy to pack away wherever I go. It did feel snug at first, but that has disappeared with use.

Rated 5 out of 5 by shimmy Comfortable nice looking colorfull jacket
Nice jacket good quality as usual from LL Bean. The only thing I might request is that you come out with one with a removable hood or just a hood that can be stowed in colar!

Rated 4 out of 5 by spicetrader Not quite perfect
I like this jacket. It fits well and feels good.
I bought it for ocean kayaking. I got in the kayak wearing the jacket. 30 seconds later, I had capsized the kayak and I was looking up at the surface, though I doubt the capsizing had anything to do with the jacket. I got the boat upright and most of the water out of the boat and me in the boat. The jacket dried out quickly and was comfortable throughout the experience.
We can imagine some potential improvements:
1. Reflective trim so drivers can see the wearer at night. Imagine a person wearing this jacket in a city.
2. Four or five interior pockets to carry my stuff in.
3. More colors. Light colors. Like White or Light Blue. Must menswear be dark and drab?

Rated 2 out of 5 by GateGrad Awkward fit and material
I liked the bold color, style and look of the jacket. When it arrived, I was unimpressed with the inside lining which is similar to a soft, crushed velvet and just seems wrong in a windbreaker-style, spring coat. The jacket does not slide on or off easily and sticks to all of my clothes. The exterior material is not typical of most jackets of this style, either; it's relatively smooth but I don't particularly like it. Room underneath the armpits is tight. I have shorter arms and needed to roll the sleeves a bit which is difficult to do b/c there are rubber velcro strips on each wrist.

Rated 4 out of 5 by EFung A surprise find...
I didn't know anything about this jacket...
until I saw it at the Freeport store,
tried it on, and bought it.
I've been looking for something like this for years...

Nice and light weight - yet does a great job of blocking the wind. Mine was a bit smaller than expected - but OK

Rated 4 out of 5 by Altvater Windbreaker is off
I ordered a Large size but this windbreaker feels very tight. The arms are too long and I had fold them over. Everything else is OK. Of special note is that the pockets are very large.
For the price a folded hoodie could have been added.
